THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Michael's Ristorante Restaurant Review

: Rosy walls, dark beamed ceiling, and an intimate atmosphere are important factors. Good food is the most important, and at Michaels, one of the South Philly restaurants that suburbanites will travel to, its in large supply. Appetizers might include grilled portobello mushrooms, a risotto made with those same mushrooms, or a sweet pepper stuffed with ground veal, rice and cheese. We like the string bean and potato salad in balsamic vinegar for something different, and a farfalle pasta with langostino and asparagus. As an entrée, you have to make a difficult choice between veal or chicken preparations, or something as simple as grilled sweet sausage with potatoes and greens.
